With dogs come a lot of responsibilities and finding the best care for them while you're away is a huge part of that.

Welcome back to another Reddit post from the AITA thread, and this time the OP was deemed as TA. These situations are kind of rare where the situation ends up being OP's fault, but we always appreciate people giving their feedback and opinions on the whole thing.

Ultimately people come to the Reddit threads to get opinions and advice from people that don't know them at all. It's the perfect place to get unbiased advice and opinions on the situation.

Getting to see other perspectives is one of the main reasons we love to cover these posts because people often have really different views. We've covered these types of stories before, but this situation involves a wife who got a dog and now expects her husband to deal with it when it comes to care during their vacation.

You can predict what the comments will say, but we're still going to dive in and show you the full story in detail about how we usually do. We'll also be diving into the best comments that were left on the post as well.

Without further ado, we will dive in and see what the wife had to say about the situation and what everyone in the comments had to say about it as well.

OP starts off with explaining her and her husband's situation with the dog.

She says that she wanted another dog, but that her husband definitely didn't want another dog at first.

She says he refuses to board their dogs due to him not believing in that and doesn't really leave them alone either.

Her husband suggests a family member watch the dog because her husband refuses to board them.

She basically told him to figure out a situation for them while they are away then since he doesn't want to board them.

She just wants to know if she's TA for reacting this way.

The first comment immediately states that she's TA in this situation because her husband didn't even want the dog.

People started asking for more information about this situation for them to be able to really make a vote.

Many people said that OP was TA in this situation and that dogs aren't toys, but full responsibility living beings.

This person said that OP was TA and explained a bad experience their mom had with boarding her dog.

Here's the rest of the comment from above. Dogs are a commitment and technically they were hers and not her husbands.

It seems like evryone is on the same page with this one and says that she's TA because her husband didn't want the dogs. Therefore, they are her responsibility.

Exactly this. You can't just pawn them onto soemone else.

There are other options for them to consider besides boarding or finding family to petsit.

It's always hard in situations like this, but ultimately everyone was in agreement that OP was TA in the situation. It came down to the fact that her husband didn't want the dog in the first place, and now she's pawning off responsibility onto him to find care for the dogs while they are on vacation.

It's definitely not fair.
